This is an introduction and flick through of my 'Around the World in 80 Days' journal project. After leaving London, my first leg through Europe on the Orient Express takes me from Paris to Constantinople (Istanbul) and I’m so excited to share my first few pages with you here🤩
Since COVID I’ve really missed travelling. So, inspired by the real-life Nellie Bly and the character Phileas Fogg. I’m attempting to ‘travel’ around the world in 80 days in my journal. 🧳 🚢 🎟 🚂 🗺 🌍
To add some historical interest I have assumed a late 19th-century character, named Netty Fly! ☺️
I started my journey on 17 August 1891 in London and will be returning there on the 4th of November.
To record my adventure, I’ve created 3 journal inserts and a pocket insert for an old leather cover (was an old notebook) and found an old passport cover, travel docs and vintage map online which I’ve printed out and distressed to look old. I will stamp each location in my passport after completing each journal entry.
You can follow my adventure here on KZfaq and on Instagram. I’ll be filming some journal-with-me videos and flip throughs along the way.
